We tent camped at Rend Lake - originally trying for South Sandusky, however everything showed reserved except for one location 115 at north Sandusky.
It was afternoon when we finally booked this reservation and set up camp.
It was clean and mainly RV style camping as we wanted electricity at our camp site.
When we checked in the next day, no one informed us that almost all the sites were cancelled and we could have moved our site. It also didn't show up on Recreation.gov.
On the second day of camping, a 15 minute pop up storm hit.
As I was sitting at my site, I looked up and saw a dead fall tree.
I looked a second time and heard a quick crack. As fast as possible u ran! (I mean RAN!)
In a flash, the tree feel on everything, killing 2 tents, all cooking gear, tarps, chairs, bedding food - everything (but me!) smashed/ruined.
We were offered a refund and an apology.
It has been over a week, I called the folks regarding getting some compensation from the Conservancy, but no return calls. There was supposed to be a report filed. Nothing.
My insurance company has a $1000 deductible on my homeowners policy, so that doesn't help me. they paid for the damage to my car.
I am mad because this wasn't my fault! I am out more that $1000 in gear. The best that the Ran gets did was call me to let me know that damaged garbage was still at the site (we couldn't fit the trash in our car and no dumpster was in walkable distance...in the rain....really?!)
So in summary the only good that came out of this was I met the guy who had his RV reserved for the said space, but he moved because he was informed that there were many sites actually opened. I can only imaging the cost that would have been associated with his $200,000RV.
I still have nightmares but had only minor scratches so I am "ok" I guess
I thought that considering the severity of the damage (including concrete picnic table smashed), that we would have been offered some comfort and compensation for our stress and loss.

The park ranger went above and beyond helping us to trade an unlevel site (#47) with a more level site (#44). She was very generous with her time after hours, waiting at the office, and she followed up by phone to take care of the transfer from our previously reserved #47 site and then brought out and hung the site tag on our new site #44 without disturbing us.

Very nice campsites with lots of space between them. Campers were very quiet and friendly. The loops are nice, with most sites not very far from the water. The loops at the end of the points have no sites right on them, so that it is sort of common space for all the campers. That's a nice design.

Beautiful lake and campsites, many with a view of the lake. Many great hikes and fun places to visit in the Shawnee National Forest area.
